Title: Brush Guard
Post by: BillT on November 12, 2018, 03:45:20 PM: I took the brush guard off my Jeep, I like the look better without it.
I donï¿½t know if this is an original guard or an aftermarket one. Is there any demand for these, any value? I havenï¿½t decided if Iï¿½m going to sell it yet, just curious.
The po put a fairly heavy coat of paint on it, thought I would take it to NAPA and get it blasted and primed.[reason]Add info[/reason]

So condition may be a big factor on its value.

I don't know how well the fine screen material would hold up to blasting.

I'll see what media they use. He was concerned about the small wire being able to withstand the material. But he has not actually seen the screen yet.
